View Full Version : True Off Topic Thread:Who Puts Rice in Their Salt Shaker?
I would imagine it's more of a thing for coastal people where the humidity is high all the time.

Live on the beach in Florida.
No rice in our salt shaker.

It's OK....VB famously does NOT kink shame, so you do you. This is a safe place.
Weirdo.

Shaker?
Nothing but fresh ground Himalayan 1000 year old salt. Had to toss some last year when it expired.

One would think that you could stretch another year of use out of 1000 year old salt :Jeff '79:

I live on the beach and we don't have humidity.

There had been complaints of too much political content in OT, and being the responsive curated content editor that I am, I'm diversifying.
Contemplating a pepper thread.....coarse ground, fine ground, or fresh ground with your own pepper mill. That one should be a barn burner....at the very least, nothing to sneeze at.

I can understand why people do it, but even here in the Blue Ridge (the blue is humidity) we don't need to.
It's probably why soy sauce was invented. It's basically liquid salt.

I don't have a salt shaker. I just cook my food perfectly.

Nah, never have. I have poked the holes on top of the salt shaker open with a round toothpick a few times though. Good as new.

Not particular. It's all good. I did get tired of constantly filling the shaker though. These days I shake it straight from the can.
People still use salt shakers?

No salt shaker. We do not use table salt.

Don't have to, I use so much salt that it never has a chance to asorb moisture.

Salt started out as a preservative in the days before refrigeration - HTF does it expire? :shrug:

We have a few very decorative salt and pepper shakers, all are empty.
we used the grinders next to the stove during cooking.

These are salt ponds near Machu Picchu, Peru. They’re fed by a single water source about the size of a water hose. They’re massive, the entire valley is tiered.

Pepper in an automatic gravity grinder, but kosher salt in a flip top. There's no point in grinding salt.

Himalayan salt :funnier:....Himalayan sea salt comes only from Pakistan, or even more specifically, from the Khewra salt mine in Jhelum District in Punjab.

I was standing in line at the Jewish bakery with a number in my hand, some goyim behind me says it sure is hot in here must be the ovens?

It probably doesn't, but table salt is just plain bad for you. They add stuff to it to keep it from caking. I keep two salt pigs on my kitchen counter. One with coarse pink Himalayan, and the other with fine sea salt.

This why nobody comes here any more. I got some salt labeled Himalayan 1000 year-old salt, and now y'all are raining on my parade.
Imposter terrorist salt? Nope. Saw the pic's of the Sherpa's backpacking the salt off of K2.
I can really tell the difference in the two-year old salt, freshly ground, and the fresh salt. Salt starts to lose the nose after about 18 months. I've had salt from all over the world, including some great Hawaiian. But this K2 sourced salt is amazingly fragrant, and really adds a sumthinsumthin to recipes. We even do salt tastings with our neighbors.

Mom always did. I haven’t taken the time to do it because our salt doesn’t cake up.
